Should he be seated? Well he is qualified to be Senator, but I don't think anyone Blagojevich appoints should be. Will he be seated? Certainly.

We have to stop using the word taint. Please!

And there is no procedural rule saying they can block incoming senators. Rather, they are using technicalities to block him.

The technicality of the whole SoS signature being missing is invalid, at least the way I interpret Marbury v. Madison.

Probably. It's more of a tradition thing, but really it is bullsh**t to just not seat him. Obviously it is meaningless, but they will use it until the are forced otherwise.
